Cable Testing

Make sure cables perform to perfection

Industrial. Domestic. Power. Communication. Cables are used across many fields, across every continent.

Faults in the design or manufacture of cables can lead to serious malfunctions in the equipment they connect. So testing is crucial for a cable’s safety, performance and reliability.

At TÜV SÜD, we test all aspects of cables and certify them. Power cables. Instrumentation cables. Communication cables. We ensure they all meet their required performance figures. If your cables are covered by an EU Directive, we can provide you with the appropriate Accreditation of Conformity certificates.

Beyond ensuring that your cables are performing at their peak, we provide you with the certification to prove it.
